If you’re in the mood for a classic American musical, Western Oregon University’s Theatre and Dance Department will present Kander and Ebb’s “Cabaret” at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 25-27 and March 2-5 and 2 p.m. Feb. 28 at Rice Auditorium, 345 Monmouth Ave. N, Monmouth.

Set in 1930s Berlin, the Tony- and Oscar-winning musical is based on Christopher Isherwood’s short novel “Goodbye to Berlin." Set during the Nazis' rise to power, the musical centers on the romance between Sally Bowles, a cabaret singer at the Kit Cat Club, and Clifford Bradshaw, an American writer.

Tickets are $12, $10 seniors and $7 students. Due to mature subject matter, the department advises the play may not be appropriate for younger audiences. To purchase tickets and for information, call (503) 838-8462.
